Foreign Large Cap Growth ETFs

Most of these ETFs divide their assets among a dozen or more developed markets, including Japan, Britain, France, and Germany. In most instances ‘large' implies a market capitalization ($10B and up) that is in the top 70% of all publicly traded stocks within a country. Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields). In a healthy economic environment, large cap growth investing is a solid way to invest. However, growth investing is a bit more volatile and as such, this category is better for moderate investors who can absorb the ups and downs a bit more when it comes to their portfolio balance.
